The job.

We won the contract to build their new website AND intranet for internal/external user.

The website requirements were to be AA compliant which ensures there are two form of communication
for every item on the site, covering visual/audio communication as a requirement of Government. The
brief was simple: ensure it is a clean and simple website to use. Clear communication and ensure the ‘three
click’ rationale was in play for all pages. Also, highlight the four key areas of infrastructure NSW and their role in
government.

The intranet was a custom build which required the usual range of services. Calendar, news, internal
commentary, forms/templates and more while having to serve the needs of infrastructure NSW
internal staff and external contractors.

The ‘three click rule’ is an unofficial web design rule concerning the design of website navigation. It suggests
that a user of a website should be able to find any information with no more than three mouse clicks.

This rational was carefully implemented through the website.

Accessibility has also been applied when it came to the responsiveness of the website on both mobile...

and tablet format.

The website also boasts a fully integrated interactive map application. We were able use INSW’s existing infrastructure data and present it in a visually interesting way
by overlaying the information on a map.

When putting our website/intranet project to market, we needed to ensure we secured a service provider that could tick some big boxes. They needed to be efficient in Umbraco, have a solid understanding of WCAG 2.0 implementation and compliance, as well as proficiency in modern web design. Expose Media met all of our criteria and we are so thrilled with the outcome of both projects.

The website design has brought us up to speed with modern technology, having a properly responsive format but more importantly, sharing important information in a simple method with easy reference points, navigation and highlighting key projects. As a compulsory requirement for NSW Government websites, the Expose Media team also ensured we were compliant with WCAG 2.0 by allowing content to be accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness, low vision and learning disabilities.

Our staff are incredibly pleased with efficiency of the new internal intranet and have continually relayed back to us how much they love using it. Having all the up to date information accessible on the home page and ease of use on mobile has made our internal communication function so much more effective.

Expose Media’s team went above and beyond and no task was too much for them. We were also provided weekly updates on the project and kept informed of progress throughout the entire process.
